Hi folks! I’m actually on a long overdue vacation to sunny Cuba this week. Right now I’m probably passed out and sunburnt. However, I have a guest post from another member of the Princess family– the fabulous Frog Princess, who writes over at Out of the Frying Pan. She’s writing about something I know far [...]

Sometimes I find myself confused when I think about having a girlfriend.
I am sure that it’s because I don’t understand what I want in someone. I used to know this girl who had actually made a list, practically a fucking book, mapping out the qualities she wanted to find in a potential suitor. I never actually [...]

As most of you know, when I’m not over here whining about life and mocking the men I’ve found on eHarmony, I’m writing at my food blog.
Writing a food blog means that sometimes, you cook when you don’t want to because if you don’t cook, you don’t post. And last night was one of [...]

So.
After seeing “I Love You, Man” this weekend (side note– Paul Rudd? Call me. Awkward men make me swoon), I had fully intended to write about the difficulties in making friends as an adult, without seating charts to make the decisions for you.
But then Matt wrote about sex.
And then I realized that no one would [...]

Sex.
I like sex. It may be, the best thing ever invented. Better than any drug, any type of alcohol, any adrenaline rush you could ever imagine.
Getting naked, rolling around, grabbing, sweating. Just generally letting go of everything and concentrating on all the small moments which lead up to the ending. I love all of it. [...]

Even the most calm, cool and collected of us have idiosyncrasies. Even the most well-dressed, poised and polished person in the room likely has a bad habit, or two, or maybe a nagging anxiety that keeps him or her up at night.  Yet, when searching for a boyfriend, girlfriend or partner we often look for [...]

Today I realized that my receipt from the drugstore was a pretty much a direct reflection of my current life situation. Here is what I bought:
- Four magazines (Time, Us Weekly, O- with Michelle Obama on the cover! and Vanity Fair)
- lipgloss
- 5 Lean Cuisine microwave dinners (all the same kind, a frightening chicken/rice combo)
- [...]

As twentysomethings, I’m sure a lot of you have felt the effects of this whole credit crisis/recession/worst economy ever thing. It seems to me like many of the “solutions” contradict each other. On one hand, Obama is putting a few extra dollars in our paychecks in order for us to go and “stimulate” the economy. [...]

I am beginning to wonder how my friends became so cliched.
It certainly couldn’t be by simple virtue of the diamond rings displayed on their ring fingers. It is not as though they are the first of my friends to get married, many of whom who have managed the transition from girlfriend to wife with relative [...]

I got a text at 2:32am on Saturday. From a girl, who I went on a date with not to long ago.
Of course I was sleeping, after a full night of shot taking and beer pounding at the bar.  So I saw the text later that morning when I woke up.
From a guys point of view, if [...]

I’m going to get a little deep on you guys today, but I promise, next week we can make fun of eHarmony again.
The first time I asked a guy out I was wearing my black D.A.R.E t-shirt and Adidas wind pants. I made my friend Kara walk across the gymnasium during third period phys. ed [...]

Two weeks ago, I wrote this.
And then the emails started pouring. I got emails from people telling me that emailing him back would be wrong. I got emails telling me that I would regret never emailing back. I got emails calling me a home wrecker (which besides not being true, isn’t very original. Try harder [...]

And, no, I’m not talking about chocolate versus vanilla, Harry Potter versus Twilight, or whatever the cool kids are debating these days.
I’m talking about the debate that even When Harry Met Sally didn’t resolve… can men and women be just friends?
I’m generally in the yes camp, myself, mostly because I have a some solidly wonderful [...]

As a kid I never had a dog or cat or anything. Some people frown at this because I dont know the rules when encountering a pet. Like for example, if a dog jumps on me- I have no problem picking him/her up and throwing it across the room (I’m exaggerating…but not really). Call it [...]

I’m writing this post from a sulky place, just to be forewarned.
I’m feeling what might be best described as professional life depression right now. As you may or may not know, I am a PhD student in a rather fierce program, one that ensures that fatigue and caffeine overconsumption are rather regular states for me. [...]
